The
Delta Waves-Dream in Real Time CD
The Delta Waves music tends to come from a dream perspective with
reverb drenched guitars and ambient soundscapes. The percussion
delivers many different styles from techno to breakbeat to addictive
acoustic beats. The Delta Waves like to make instrumental music
as well as songs with vocals. Vocals are usually subtle and although
they add a strong presence to the song they are almost hauntingly
used as an instrument. The Delta Waves explain their music as soundtracks
to dreams (or daydreams). The music is sometimes trancy and hypnotizing.
They achieve a wide and dynamic sound through soft distortion and
analog synth. Each song usually holds some form of contrast that
slips into the listener's ears almost subconsciously. It is escapist
music that is original and refreshing. For fans of FSA, Seefeel,
Windy & Carl, Slowdive.-CLAIRECORDS

in
the beginning......started by greg naumann as a series of recording projects
in early 97, the music began taking on original form by the help of friends
that were also of the detroit
space rock scene.after receiving much college radio air play and good feedback
greg began to make the DELTA WAVES his main musical outlet. other contributing
artist include rebekah tufts, rob moon (gravity wax), mike ebberline (unexplained
transmissions), and jenny abramov (too many jennies). the current battery
of live performers are greg naumann and anton abramov. don't be surprised
to see a friend or two helping out musically in a live setting at any given
time. in 98 the 7" vinyl 'Andromeda Drone' was released on Sonic Brotherhood
Records. the songs were recorded with minimal recording equipment , a 1980's
fostex 4 track to be exact. this release is said to have a slowdive/flying
saucer attack sound on one end and has been compared to fellow michigan
artists such as Windy and Carl or Asha Vida. also that year and the following
up to now the band has been placed on a couple note worthy compilation releases
such as the Masstransfer Magazine installation #3 c.d with the minimal single
'Saturnalia'. in 99 they were placed on the now nearly impossible to find
'Little Miss Loveseat' compilation off Electronic Cow Records with yet another
minimal yet lush single 'Lady of the Lake'. Greg and Anton of the Delta
Waves have just finished up on a soon to be released c.d. called 'The Delta
Waves Dream in Real Time' . this work takes on a more ambient/electronic
sound, layered with floaty guitar wash. the Delta Waves are very happy with
the direction the music is taking because it has definitely became a sound
of their own where originality is a factor and sound depth is explored.

just
as Dream In Real Time was going to press, Ryan from Fuxa joined the band
to take over percussion duties. Ryan's addition brings a fuller, more realized
sound to the Delta Waves.

reviews...MASSTRANSFER magazine publisher and editor Ryan Anderson,
Review on the ANDROMEDA DRONE- 7" - "DELTA WAVES is a projected
headed up by GREG NAUMANN, that carries on the DETROIT space rock tradition.
"ANDROMEDA DRONE" is their debut 7-inch on SONIC BROTHERHOOD RECORDS
and portrays an interesting array of sound environments. the a-side drones
along quite passively, until you begin to lose touch with reality. At that
moment, the drone breaks and a coda of guitar ,bass and drum emerges. the
b-side presents a shimmering waltz dense with texture. file this one next
to ASHA VIDA and WINDY & CARL."
